>The hacker known as 4chan

After the events of the Fappening, in which a hacker posted nude photographs of various celebrities onto 4chan, many news outlets rushed to report about the event, often without proper prior fact checking. [1]One such report (Taken down since) from the Australian branch of MTV, identified the hacker as "a hacker known as 4 Chan. While the text in the article was changed to read "A hacker, known only as a user of website '4 Chan,'" later on, the original text reads "A hacker known as '4 Chan' claims to not only have nude, risqué images but explicit videos…" Due to the obvious error of identifying the hacker by the name of the site, many users on 4chan mocked the error by asking who 4chan was on the site itself.
